this thread is incredible! I'm a 16/18 now (down from a 24/26). My ultimate goal is a 12. Hopefully I'll get there soon. I can't believe the speed at which some of you ladies took off the weight. Like 50,70,or even 100lbs in like 8months. It's really inspiring! My short term weight goal is to lose 45lbs (to break into one-derland). But after that, who knows? You guys are awesome!

I'll try to get together a before and after for my progress so far toward getting into a 12...

Oh wow! Everyone here looks AMAZING!!!! I stopped drinking soda three years ago and a year ago, I made of point of being lightly active at the very least. This all kept me from gaining weight, but it wasn't until this past summer that I pushed hard to move past that stage and lose the weight. Therefore, this journey has been going on for almost three months now. This isn't exactly the same, but so far I've gone from a 14/16 to a 10/12. I believe in you! ^_^

I started at about a size 18/20 and I am currently hovering between a 10-14. Mainly size 12 (UK SIZE 12). Starting weight was 211lbs and I am currently 158lbs. Need to lose another 20 pounds to be at my goal. I am 5'2.

Wow! Seriously amazing transformation folks!

So what was it that finally made you buckle down and commit to prioritizing weight loss/getting healthy above everything else? Was there a moment, event, realization, something... that just flipped that switch in your head?

So I am not at a size 12 . . . yet! But for some perspective, I was 340 - 350 lbs on the left and I'm now down to 260lbs and I wear a 14/16 depending on cut. I am 5'10 approx.

It takes time, but there's definitely a difference in how I look now vs what I was at. Still super motivating for me, anyways.

For me, it was an accumulation of moments and realizations. I'm not entirely too sure what was the straw that broke the camel's back, but one day, this past June, I found that I could NOT go on another day living so unhealthily. For a few days, I reflected on the fact that it took me nearly an hour to "run" a 5K, that I was closer to 200 lbs than I was to 100 lbs (I'm about 5"2), that one size fits all clothing were suddenly becoming quite snug, that my gut was starting to near the size of my bust, that my BMI was now at 31, that my collarbones were nearly gone, etc, etc. I decided that I was no longer adorably chubby/curvy as loved ones would tell me all the time, but rather, I was unhealthy and plain and simply fat (ouch). It was a rocky start, but I started off with just walking 3 miles a day, every morning. As I got physically stronger, I also got mentally stronger, and my eating habits and resistance to junk food improved. Today, I am 100% committed to this lifestyle change, and I can already see that obesity will never again plague me.

Thank you! I appreciate you sharing that! Like you, I'm 5'2. I'm 216 and well, I just need to not be.

I've yo-yo'd so many times (even got down to 160 at one point) that I'm having a hard time believing I can actually succeed at this. So I keep sabotaging myself and cutting myself slack when I shouldn't be.

I'm working on the mindset change. I know once I get that in line with my goal (145-150 lbs) I'll be able to get there and get over the mind-f#$@. Really appreciate you sharing!
